Couture assisted on the first two goals of the Sharks' 7-2 win over the Canucks on Monday.
Impact
Couture had the primary assists on goals by wingers Timo Meier and Evander Kane, which helped the Sharks establish control from the opening faceoff. Couture has 51 points in 57 games and can be used at center or left wing in some formats.
Couture scored a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Capitals.
Impact
One of his helpers came with the man advantage, and he also chipped in three shots, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating. Couture had only two points (both goals) in his prior eight games heading into Tuesday, but that brief sag hasn't derailed his career season -- the 29-year-old now has 19 goals and 47 points through 52 games.
Couture scored a goal against the Coyotes on Wednesday.
Impact

Couture scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.
Impact
After going four games without finding the scoresheet, Couture rebounded with his sixth and seventh goals of December. The 29-year-old is on pace for the best season of his career, racking up 15 goals and 38 points through 40 games despite only eight points (two goals, six assists) on the power play.
Couture scored two goals in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Wild.
Impact
After a scoreless first period, Couture broke the ice with his 12th goal of the season midway through the middle frame before adding another marker 51 seconds into the third period. While not the case in this game, a big reason for Couture's point-per-game pace (36 points in 35 games) has been his assist production. He sits second on the team with 23 helpers (Brent Burns leads the Sharks with 30).
Couture dished out a pair of assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Impact
Both of Couture's helpers came on goals by Timo Meier. Couture's closing in on a point-per-game pace with 32 points in 33 games. He's on pace to eclipse his 2014-15 career high of 67 points.
Couture scored a goal and an assist in a 5-3 victory against the Coyotes on Saturday.
Impact
The 29-year-old scored San Jose's second goal and then picked up an assist on the empty-net goal to seal the victory. The multi-point night pulls Couture within a point of averaging one per game -- he has 10 goals and 30 points in 31 contests. Couture could easily raise that average to above a point per game soon. He's rather hot at the moment, having tallied four goals and 13 points in the last 11 games.
Couture picked up a pair of assists in a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Wednesday.
Impact
Both of Couture's assists came on the power play, in a game that saw both clubs combine to go 5-for-7 with the man advantage. The 29-year-old led all San Jose skaters with 4:12 of power-play time. The two helpers give Couture 17 on the season to go along with eight goals in 26 games.
Couture registered a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Edmonton.
Impact
Couture undressed Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson before firing the puck far side, beating Mikko Koskinen and ending a 10-game goal drought during which he snagged seven helpers. The All-Star center is averaging a career-high 19:33 of ice time that includes 3:13 with the man advantage.
Couture recorded three assists in a 4-0 victory against the Blues on Saturday.
Impact
The 29-year-old experienced a strong start to the season, but he slowed down at the beginning of November. In the six games prior to Saturday, he had just one assist and a minus-8 rating. Hopefully this is the start of another scoring spree for Couture, who despite the recent struggles, still has six goals and 20 points in 21 games this season.
